Radio Canada Enquête – Épisode du jeudi 25 janvier 2024

Alors que les actions collectives contre des congrégations religieuses et des diocèses pour des abus sexuels et physiques se sont multipliées au Québec au cours des dernières années, une question se pose, incontournable : est-ce que l’Église a les moyens de faire face aux réclamations de plus en plus importantes?

La structure de plusieurs de ces organisations est complexe, et les données publiques, incomplètes.

Enquête a compilé les actifs des congrégations religieuses et de leurs corporations liées, ainsi que ceux des diocèses et de leurs œuvres, mis en cause dans des poursuites devant les tribunaux.

Et lève le voile sur cette richesse méconnue.

Former Montreal Priest Convicted in 2019 Of Abusing Boys Facing New Charges

By Patricia Grell • September 4, 2026
The Canadian Press - September 1, 2026 Montreal, QC - Former Montreal priest Brian Boucher, who was convicted in 2019 of sexually abusing two boys and sentenced to eight years in prison, is now facing new charges related to possessing and accessing child sexual abuse material. The alleged offences occurred between April 7 and April 9, and his case has been postponed until September 8. Boucher was granted statutory release in 2024 under strict conditions, including avoiding children and his victims. Still, his release conditions were tightened in 2025 after he was reportedly seen near areas where one victim and his family were likely to be. He was formally removed from the priesthood in 2020 following his conviction and an independent inquiry that criticized the Montreal Catholic diocese for its handling of earlier complaints against him.

After Lengthy Wait, Victims of Priest Abuse in N.S. To Finally Receive Payouts

By Patricia Grell • September 2, 2026
Bishop Accountability + CBC News (Halifax) - August 27, 2026  Halifax, NS - Dozens of victims of historical sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Nova Scotia are expected to receive compensation in mid-September, nearly four years after a $10-million settlement was approved. More than 65 victims have been approved for payments ranging from about $21,800 to $303,000, but delays occurred because of the large number of claims and lengthy assessments. Some survivors criticized the process and lack of communication, while lawyers and the archdiocese say the settlement process was fair.
